I am talking about you

Hello everyone

I am currently in the process of writing a paper about this blog and how I use it to reflect, and how the wonderful comments you leave enhances my learning. I plan to submit it to an academic journal for publication.

I haven't gone through an ethical approval process because my research is about myself, and all your comments are in the public domain. I will not be asking your permission to talk about your comments.

However, if you have left comments on any of my posts that you do not want me to talk about in my paper, please can you let me know or delete the comment from this blog by March 18th 2012. Whilst your comments are identifiable (unless you have posted them anonymously) I will use pseudonyms in my paper.

Thank you all very much. You all contribute significantly to my learning and development as a learner and teacher....I wouldn't be without you.

If you'd like a copy of my paper when I've written, please let me know.

Sarah I would like a copy of the paper when it has been published. I also use blogging to reflect and work through issues in midwifery (and in life). I love the fact that blogs are in the public domain, because I consider that anything I have to say as a professional midwife should be able to be said openly. In that sense I also welcome critique of anything I have written.I wonder if I am unusual in that I have not embraced other forms of social media to the degree that I am happy to use blogging?

@Tona Thank you for getting in touch...lovely to hear from someone in Spain. I'll send you my paper when I've written it.

@Joy Happy to send you a copy. It sounds like you and I have a lot in common and I think what you're saying is that reflection is important to you...not the tool itself. I'll be very interested in your feedback on my article. Thanks

Welcome to my blog which is a mix of talk about stuff that takes my fancy. My views are my own and not necessarily of my employer. I am always really interested to hear your thoughts and feedback, so please feel free to leave a comment at any time.
